We've Got Something to Talk About
My daughter, Aiyana, tells me that I talk to everybody I meet. That's not true, of course, but that's her perception. I've explained to her that what she sees comes as a result of my being a shy person growing up. Many years ago, to overcome my shyness, I decided that whenever I attended an event, meeting, or get-together I would introduce myself to at least three people I didn't know.
It was difficult for me to meet people at first, but, eventually, I was able to do it without giving it much thought. Now, it's a natural thing to do and I'm better off for it, because I've met some interesting people.
We have a tendency to gravitate toward people we know and hang out with them, but it is not as easy to go out of our way to mingle with people we don't know. If Christ always chose to hang out only with His friends, He would certainly not have accomplished His mission in the short time He was here on earth. Instead, Christ "mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, 'Follow Me' "--The Ministry of Healing, p. 143. We need to follow His example.
